It likely is using the old one, even if you think it isn't. Probably what happens is the activity process has been killed. When it is rebuilt (your home button), the lifecycle calls onCreate() which I'll guess is where your long running code is.
So, the solution would likely be to add the results of your db work to the Bundle in onFreeze(), then access it (the icicle parameter) when onCreate is called. If the icicle is not null, you can do your processing, else load from the db.
